A longtime frontrunner in the jazz avant-garde, saxophonist David S. Ware has released one of his strongest and most comprehensive statements with 2005's LIVE IN THE WORLD. A sprawling three-CD set, this collection of performances recorded in Italy in Switzerland features Ware playing with regular sidemen Matthew Shipp (piano) and William Parker (bass), two of the finest musicians in the game. Different drummers dominate each set--Susie Ibarra on Disc One, Hamid Drake on Disc Two, and Guillermo E. Brown on Disc Three--in each case providing pulse, texture, clatter, and drive to the tireless exploration and scintillating chemistry of the core trio.
The material includes covers (an extended, abstract reading of "The Way We Were") and originals that range in feel from the quietly meditative ("Aquarian Sound") to the kinetic ("Logistic") to the rhythmic and ruminative ("Elder's Path"). Disc Three is primarily devoted to a complete re-working of Sonny Rollins's "Freedom Suite;" Ware's version expands and explores the original to spectacular effect. At the center of all this, of course, is Ware's tenor work--passionate, nuanced, relentlessly inventive, and technically formidable. LIVE IN THE WORLD is not only one of Ware's finest recordings, it is an example of free jazz at its absolute best.
Personnel: David S. Ware (saxophone); Matthew Shipp (piano); Guillermo E. Brown, Hamid Drake, Susie Ibarra (drums).
Recording information: Cineama Taetro, Chiasso, Switzerland (12/11/1998-??/??/2003); Milano, Italy (12/11/1998-??/??/2003); Terni, Italy (12/11/1998-??/??/2003).
Magnet (p.118) - "Shipp, Parker and Ware improvise like they're tapped into a common brain. They anticipate each other's moves and spur each other on..."
The Wire (p.67) - "[T]his mammoth, awe-inspiring document is so essential, and fortuitous....Ware slowly spins in the spotlight, revealing every aspect of his magisterial vision."

Live In The World Music Review Average Rating: (3.5 out of 5 stars)   DSWQ - Live In The World
I was expecting more from this outing, since I know most of the DSWQ discography. The first two disc are fine, but the third is not so interesting. Besides, it's sound quality is fairly poor. A double disc would be enough.

 For fans of Classic Quartet Coltrane and beyond
The DSW Quartet carries the tradition of "Ecstatic American Music" of the Classic Coltrane Quartet into the new milennium. Ware is a true heir of 'Trane exhibiting absolute mastery of his horn with passion, beauty, and an imagination of his own. Shipp, on piano, adds a more contemporary abstract feel to the group and is McCoy Tyner's equal in chops. No offense to Jimmy Garrison, but William Parker on bass is in a league of his own. And one of the values of the three disks is the three different drummers, all of whom are masters with their own very unique personalities on the kit. Another plus is the version of "Freedom Suite" on Disk 3 which is quite different from the studio version on AUM Fidelity. I felt sound quality was at least fair (docked a star for that, though) and for fans of the genre this set of alternately breathtakingly beutiful and frighteningly intense music is well worth the low price.

Purchase Live In The World CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | David S Ware Threads CD (2003)
Live In The World album
 $13.85 
Since the beginning of the 21st century, David S. Ware's recordings have moved more toward the notion of composition than free-blowing improvisation. The album Threads is the most fully realized of his scoring attempts yet, and stands out from his catalog as a work of great innovation and emotional power. The David S. Ware String Ensemble is comprised of his quartet with William Parker, Guillermo Brown, and Matthew Shipp, and is augmented by microtonal violist Mat Maneri and classical maestro Daniel Bernard Roumain on violin. Ware's compositions are not subtle by jazz standards. They involve stridently stated rhythmic arrangements, such as those found on "Sufic Passages," which inverts and extends part of the line from John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme," and is eerily reminiscent of the intro statement of the 1960s Ramsey Lewis Trio with Maurice White in live settings ...

Live In The World CD music
$13.49 
This exceptional date by Dave Holland Big Band was recorded in 2002 in New York, yet remained unreleased until 2005. As is to be expected, Holland assembled a fine cast of seasoned and young players, some of whom are veterans of Holland's quintets and quartets. These are four saxophones -- two alto, tenor and baritone -- three trumpets and trombones, and vibes as well as bass and drums. They include Chris Potter and Robin and Duane Eubanks, Antonio Hart, Steve Nelson, Josh Roseman, Billy Kilson, Taylor Haskins, Gary Smulyan, Jonathan Arons and Alex Sipiagin. The music centers around ...

Live In The World songs
$15.75
Kenneth Sivertsen toured as a guitarist and pianist with vibraphonist Mike Mainieri during 1991-92 and is a Norweigan composer who has mostly written in the classical field. His CD has 11 of his nonclassical compositions and solos from the likes of trumpeter Randy Brekcer, Bob Mintzer on tenor and soprano, Mainieri, Michael Brecker on tenor and the leader's guitar. The music is poppish with light grooves and leans toward the easy-listening side of jazz. ~ Scott Yanow

In the late '80s, Union Carbide Productions were an essential live rock & roll experience whose on-stage theatrics made anything happening in front of the stage seem pretty tame by comparison. The underground was a very self-conscious place, where nostalgia for anything prior to the Ramones revolution wasn't as celebrated as it was when Nirvana covered the Shocking Blue's "Love Buzz." There were exceptions, of course; the Cramps were self-exiled freaks ...
